The value of animal products

Milk is everywhere; the money is in eggs

Record, downloads and citation

Map of São Paulo state with a circle in each municipality, its area proportional to the value of milk, eggs, honey, cocoons and aquaculture in 2024, coloured by the most valuable product: orange for eggs, greyish blue for milk, teal for aquaculture and ochre for honey. Small and medium blue circles cover almost the whole state; the orange ones are few and large, the largest of all in Bastos, in the centre-west, surrounded by Tupã, Queiroz and Iacri, with other large ones in Mirassolândia, to the north, Itirapina, in the centre, and Porto Feliz and Tatuí, to the south-east. Teal circles appear on the north-western edge, by the reservoirs. Callout: Bastos, R$ 1.26 billion, 10% of the state’s value. The panel shows bars with each product’s value in the state and the number of municipalities where each is the largest. — Fig. 075 São Paulo state (SP) EPSG:4674 Source: IBGE

Milk, eggs, honey, silkworm cocoons and farmed fish were worth R$ 12.0 billion in São Paulo in 2024, according to the Municipal Livestock Survey. Eggs accounted for 61% of that value (R$ 7.3 billion), milk for 33% (R$ 3.9 billion), aquaculture for 6% and honey for less than 1%. On the map, however, the colour seen most is milk’s: it is the most valuable product in 423 municipalities, against 139 for eggs, 29 for aquaculture and 22 for honey. The egg money is concentrated in a few hubs. Bastos alone adds up to R$ 1.26 billion, 10% of the state, followed by Tupã, Mirassolândia and Itirapina; in the last two, eggs are more than 98% of the value. The ten largest municipalities account for 31% of the total. The survey does not include meat: the value of slaughtered animals is left out. Fifth and last plate of the collection “Milk, eggs, honey and fish”.

How to read this plate area, projection, scale, legend and source

1 Area: São Paulo state (SP) The area the plate covers. Outside it, neighbours and sea are drawn in grey, just for orientation.
2 Coordinates and projection: SIRGAS 2000 (EPSG:4674) The layers are in SIRGAS 2000; the drawing’s projection is written in the colophon at the foot of the panel.
3 Scale: Graphic scale bar in the panel The scale bar is true on the central meridian; away from it, measured distances vary a little.
4 Legend and layers: 4 layers in the GeoPackage · point, polygon Read the legend before the map: it tells you whether a colour is a rate or a class, and whether a circle is a total.
5 Sources: IBGE (2024); IBGE (2025) Every figure comes from a public source, with its year. The data sheet gives each one’s address.

The value of animal products in São Paulo, 2024

Português · English

Plate No. 075, the last of five in the collection Milk, eggs, honey and fish: the four previous plates added up in reais, municipality by municipality.

What the files contain

Layer (GPKG)	Geometry	Contents
`valor`	point	613 municipalities with reported value: `CD_MUN`, `NM_MUN`, intermediate region, `leite_mil_reais`, `ovos_mil_reais`, `mel_mil_reais`, `casulos_mil_reais`, `aquicultura_mil_reais`, `total_mil_reais`, `dominante` (the most valuable product) and `parte_dominante` (% of the total); one point inside each municipality
`municipios`	polygon	645 municipalities, with the same fields
`regioes_intermediarias`	polygon	11 intermediate geographic regions
`limite_estadual`	polygon	outline of the state

The GPKG is zipped and attached to the animal-sp-2026 release. The valor layer opens in QGIS with the plate’s circles (style circulos).

The CSV holds the municipal table, in UTF-8, without geometry. An empty cell means no data; 0 means zero.

Method

Table 74 of the Municipal Livestock Survey on SIDRA, variable Production value (thousand reais), year 2024: Milk, Hen eggs and Quail eggs (added together in ovos), Honey and Silkworm cocoons.
Table 3940, variable Production value (thousand reais), year 2024: aquaculture total (fish, shrimp, oysters and others).
Total = sum of the five products; dominant product = the most valuable in the municipality.
Circles with area proportional to the total, at a point inside each municipality.

Limitations

PPM does not measure meat or animals sold: slaughtered cattle, chickens and pigs are not in the value, which is limited to what animals produce.
Values in current 2024 reais, reported by municipality; they are not net income.
32 municipalities have no reported value, almost all in Greater São Paulo and on the coast.
